The more we truly love another, the more thoroughly we respect that other's individuality.
The other so-called love is only love of possession and love of having our own way.

It is not really love at all; it is sugar-coated tyranny.
And when one sugar-coated tyrant' antagonizes herself against another sugar-coated tyrant the strain is severe indeed, and nothing good is ever accomplished.
The Roman infantry fought with a fixed amount of space about each soldier, and found that the greater freedom of individual activity enabled them to fight better and to conquer their foes.

This symbolizes happily the process of getting people off our nerves.

Let us give each one a wide margin and thus preserve a good margin for ourselves.
We rub up against other people's nerves by getting too near to them--not too near to their real selves, but too near, so to speak, to their nervous systems.

There have been quarrels between good people just because one phase of nervous irritability roused another.
